    @rocketsquire I think part of the issue with the original overwatch organisation is that the main leaders were split, causing a rift and the fact that it became more a military than something to lead the world to a better future which was the whole idea of overwatch in the first place.

  • dishonoredow Dishonoredow (@dishonoredow) reported

    @zeetcherman Hero Bob and fern are the worst issue in overwatch rn*

  • AndrewReise Andrew Reise (@AndrewReise) reported

    @PlayApex your game is amazing, but the management of the game is so terrible that I am quitting it in favor of mismanaged games like Warzone and Overwatch. I’m already gone. Fix your endless server issues (literally a problem since before season 1) before everyone else is gone

  • sinswlllfindyou Seeer (@sinswlllfindyou) reported

    @BlizzardCS hi, i keep getting disconnected from playing Overwatch with a message "lost connection to the server". and no this is not a problem on my ISP end. any way i could fix it? PLEASE!

  • noteandcolor Mark B. (@noteandcolor) reported

    @elchivo83 @jasonschreier Nah, not always. This would be a perfect device for someone who only wants a PC for very specific, well optimized games -- Overwatch, Valorant, League, Fortnite, etc. Can't imagine this thing would have any issues running those titles at 1080p, 60fps.

  • papswastaken Paps (@papswastaken) reported

    @redsaaryn @SkyRaiderG7 You know large companies have subdivisions, right? Like there are teams in Activision Blizzard that work on Overwatch, others on Warzone, some worked on Crash, etc. It's basic project management.

  • WontGetDown FINAL GIRL 💀🔪 (@WontGetDown) reported

    I rebuilt my PS4's database (trying to fix an error with Overwatch where it WON'T LET ME IN) and it's slowly repopulating my menu with every game I've ever owned and. I didn't want to be reminded I had some of these

  • seanzcollins Sean Collins (@seanzcollins) reported

    The Chengdu Hunters defeat the Dallas Fuel 3-1 in the first round of the Summer Showdown in Hawaii. The Fuel were disjointed and made uncharacteristic errors in the loss. Dallas needs a loser's bracket run for anther Overwatch League trophy.

  • ankylozilla AnKyloZilla (@ankylozilla) reported

    @snivy_495 Yeah, that's always a problem. I've had plenty of toxic players in Overwatch and Apex. I've had 85% good experiences playing FFXIV, though.

  • Eatdaweed aaaaaAAAAAAAAAA (@Eatdaweed) reported

    @achsya_nugroho @wildrift pardon? i play valorant, overwatch, r6 normally without lag spike but this? i don't think its my provider

  • zeetcherman Zeetcherman (@zeetcherman) reported

    cheaters are the worst issue in Overwatch right now.

  • fairys0da val Ψ( `▽´ )Ψ COMS OPEN (@fairys0da) reported

    overwatch has been out for 5 years, can they PLEASE fix the ana nade animation glitches

  • VegetaD69 Daniel Burlew (@VegetaD69) reported

    If this doesn't show a broken *** mechanic, I don't know what possibly can. Misses completely with shot Cursor no where near my body and gets hook and instant kill. Character is absolutely garbage bullshit. They will never fix it cause they don't care. #Overwatch

  • Old_Man_Mains Old Man Mains (@Old_Man_Mains) reported

    @Dennoo08 I have a fix for this problem. Don't play overwatch. Join me on the waves! Yo-ho yo-ho!

    @LEGDAY no problem Overwatch contenders EU/NA caster LEGDAY

  • soxhawk Curt Rose (@soxhawk) reported

    Every so often, I think about the kid in an Overwatch comp game that said I was such a bad Tracer I'd have problems connecting dots.

  • thesqueakuel apuplexi (@thesqueakuel) reported

    maybe overwatch 2 will fix it 🤡

  • UneVeuvesAmour ⸻ 𝐀𝐦𝐞́𝐥𝐢𝐞 𝐋𝐚𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐢𝐱. (@UneVeuvesAmour) reported

    @merlotoutlaw (No problem l! It seemed like you caught all of my overwatch accounts lol thus feel free to poke them for interactions. Though some of them is inactive but I usually make reply lmao

  • woodlandbuckle Trent (Commissions Opened) (@woodlandbuckle) reported

    Overwatch has this problem of I really want to get into it but because of the China controversy a few years back I don’t wanna support the company But at the same time there are these very creative minds that work on the game and I wanna support that.

  • Lancefishersu Lance_fisher (@Lancefishersu) reported

    @owpathtopro it's unfortunate that players had to suffer the consequences of this poor decision, 5v6 scenarios should not exist in Overwatch competition no matter the level. If a player drops out fix the issue or delay the match for the players and viewers sake instead of pressing forward

  • RazylDazylGG Sean (@RazylDazylGG) reported

    what doesn't fix ranked: cosmetic rewards do they think overwatch players play comp just for gold guns and a seasonal sticker??? The effort taken to make all these rewards could have been put into building a simple elo system that would make the actual comp community happy

  • lettucecookie le sex tank (@lettucecookie) reported

    I think I'm logged out of my 5yo overwatch account .idk the login anymore

  • BorgerJuices Liam 🛹 😝 (@BorgerJuices) reported

    @wendiglow it's only an issue on overwatch, idk where the deadzone is on the settings. im probably just blind

  • CreatureTheJoke Cam (@CreatureTheJoke) reported

    they gotta fix the rules or get better employees for overwatch, because it's so bad and is a joke

  • hoodniggahoshi azure ☀️🌈 dookiehole soaking wet (@hoodniggahoshi) reported

    ever since cross play happened on overwatch, my game has been lagging so much

  • LauraLifeleaf Laura (@LauraLifeleaf) reported

    Sorry for no stream today, good news is that my xbox is not broken! I am hoping to stream tomorrow with no issues🤞🏻🙏🏻 I might stream some Overwatch then that other game I tried to play yesterday. Anywho, night you beautiful people!

  • Densuo Densuo F. Seiei: The King of Salts (@Densuo) reported

    @Hustler_One_9 @amazingabellini But a way to address people that intentionally throw/int . Also. I hope if this really is Gundam Overwatch that matches dont turn into Goats vs goats. But i have a feeling that won't be a problem given the sheer amount of suits

  • non_one_c Noah ★ NoNiC (@non_one_c) reported

    @Numinar @jabber_joe @Tony_Gowland I compared a lot of ports and when I play in the living room (which I rarely do) Xbox Remote Play had less input lag and better graphics for every game. KH Melody of Memory, the Crash Trilogy and Overwatch had horribe low res and input lag on Switch for example.

    @prabhash_mnm @onfire_PH1L @CSGO I mean when you mix all their systems together cheaters aren’t much of a problem, prime, trust-factor, vac, overwatch, they have a lot of different ways to mitigate cheating and have a better player experience, but they can’t get them all, who can? Sometimes there’s a cheater
